GERANIUM EXTRACT

The primary active ingredient in this extract is dimethylamylamine. This stimulant not only increases alertness but also decreases hunger and improves mood. It boosts fat loss by increasing levels of the neurohormone norepinephrine, which enhances fat burning and boosts metabolic rate.

YOHIMBE

This extract from the bark of the West African tree Pausinystalia yohimbe is a very potent fat burner thanks to the active ingredients yohimbine and rauwolscine (alpha-yohimbine). These ingredients bind to fat cells and inhibit specific receptors that would normally limit the amount of fat that can leave the cells while enabling more fat to be stored. By inhibiting these receptors, less fat is stored and more is freed up to be burned away as fuel.

DEANOL BITARTRATE

This supplement provides the active ingredient dimethylaminoethanol, which is a naturally occurring analogue of choline. This leads to higher levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. That can help you keep a sharper mind and improve your mood.

CAFFEINE ANHYDROUS

Caffeine, the world’s most popular stimulant, is also the world’s most popular fat burner. It’s close to impossible to find an effective fat burner that doesn’t contain some form of caffeine. That’s because caffeine works so well to free up the fat that’s stored in your body’s fat cells. And because caffeine also boosts metabolic rate, it burns away that freed up fat for good.

HUPERZINE EXTRACT

This extract from club moss has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Huperzine prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain. With higher acetylcholine levels, your brain is sharper and mood is improved.
